Ivan Yegorovich Zhilnov, callsign Jaeger, is a former forest warden and hunter who lives off the grid. Unlike every other starting trader, Jaeger is locked when you begin: he only opens up after you complete Mechanic's Introduction quest and find his camp on Woods.

He sells what a survivalist would: bolt-action rifles, hunting shotguns, meds, food, and wilderness gear. His prices on provisions and basic meds are often the best in the game.

Jaeger's quest line is legendary and occasionally infamous. The Huntsman Path series demands precise, specific kills and survival challenges that force you to play differently. Players either love his quests or dread them, usually both.
